Planned Giving

The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee is a 501(C)(3) Nonprofit Corporation EIN: 62-1587327. Licensed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA).

With your support, The Elephant Sanctuary:

Provides captive elephants with individualized care, the companionship of a herd, and the opportunity to live out their lives in a safe haven dedicated to their wellbeing;

Raises public awareness of the complex needs of elephants in captivity, and the crisis facing elephants in the wild.

The Elephant Sanctuary has set aside unrestricted financial operational reserves of five times its budgeted expenses to ensure the lifetime care and safe haven for an undetermined number of elephants. Elephants have an expected lifespan of 50-70 years and The Sanctuary is committed to providing food, shelter, veterinary care, medicine, caregivers, property maintenance and security. Along with the public’s continuing support, these funds are needed to provide for the elephants currently in our care and those to come.
